I've joined the Warwick Community - what next?
To get the best experience from Community and connect with like-minded people, we recommend completing all the fields on your profile. Add details such as the course you’ll be studying, your country of origin, hobbies and interests, a short bio, and your pronouns if you’re happy to share them. A complete profile helps others get to know you and makes it easier to find common ground.
Joining a group: Head to the 'Home' tab to see groups that are available to join. We recommend starting with the department group that is most relevant to you - it's a great way to meet your future coursemates. There are also lots of general interest groups, including 'Accommodation', 'Sports at Warwick', 'Clubs, Societies and Social Life', and more.
Private messaging: Found someone that you want a one-on-one conversation with? Click the speech icon 💬 next to their name to invite them to a private chat.
Exploring content: Visit the 'Home' tab to browse our rich library of student-led content. You can discover students' personal stories of their time at Warwick, useful tips, and subject-specific advice.
Once you've joined a group or started chatting directly with someone, your messages will appear in the 'Inbox' tab so that you can easily continue the conversation.
